Selling custom license plates?

[A790]

Can you sell your personalized plates in Alberta? I've got a couple that I don't plan on using anymore.

How do you transfer from one registrant to the next?

No, u just turn them back into the registry.

So I can't sell them then? I just turn them back in?

Lame.

HAHAhA that toyota your talking about is so rusty! I pass by it every now and then. So funny lol

Yup, unfortunately you dont open, they are still the property of the government of Alberta.

You can transfer personalized license plates to immediate family once as a gift. That's it. Weird rules.

I *think* you can offer to buy a plate from someone, have them turn it in, and try to register that plate afterwards. I have no idea how long it takes before a plate is available for registration after it's been turned in.

yea I tried that, but the guy never called me, whatever

Yup tried that too, she said it would be a gamble as long as no one else wants it then it takes approx 3-4 weeks and I can go back in and register the same plate again :thumbsdow
